Download dBpowerAMP Music Converter 14.4

Illustrate has released release 14.4 of dBpowerAMP Music Converter. This audio editing program can rip audio CDs and convert music files to and from mp3, mp4, m4a, wma, Ogg Vorbis, aac, Monkey’s Audio, flac, alac, among others, while preserving mp3 tags. Furthermore, the MP3 tags can be customized and the program can be fully integrated into Windows Explorer, making it easy to invoke. The basic version, for ripping CDs and converting files, is free. In front of additional functionality must be paid. The following changes have been made in this update:

changes

• Allows multi item tags to be stored in non standard fields, for example Arranger Item1; Item2 would be split when stored into FLAC
• m4a tagging could set an Explicit or other rating by mistake
• m4a tagging would display a title of ‘ABC/DEF’ as 2 split titles
• mp3 tagging, better compatibility for ANSI & date with year
• mp3 tagging, standard compliant behavior that most software does not support is now opt-in
• mp3 tagging lyrics mapping fixed
• mp3 tagging ‘initial key’ implemented
• new command line -sourceisfloat for coreconverter.exe (also allows multi-encoder to send floating point to an encoder)
• AIFF tagging fix (could indicate file was corrupted)
• FLAC tagging bug fix, was writing ‘;’ for comment when had multi-lines
• FLAC tagging METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE read as artwork (outside the flac tagging spec…)

Bug Fixes

• [IF!EQUALS] was not working correctly
• Wave id3 tagging fix (where could write an extra byte to the end of the file, giving a warning on wave decode)
• Converting wave (LIST + id3 tagged file) >> wave would only write (id3 tag)
• m4a tag writer was inefficient when trying to trim a huge tag (image as base64, for example) down to the allowed 255 chars
• A badly corrupted FLAC file could cause the converter to terminate encode based on timeout, not reported errors
• CD ripper – if reading ISRC and was not present for a track, then track+1 would not have ISRC read either
• CD ripper, batch converter, would default their positions if moved to a certain display (on multi monitor systems)
